By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the breakup of Katy Perry and Russell Brand. Having just done a post about Katy’s cat, Kitty Purry, and their perfume lines, Purr & Meow, I feel just terrible. Divorce is always hard. Especially on the kittens. And children, I suppose, if there are any. (People and their children – they’re so weird.)

Yes, I know it’s still early in the process, but don’t you think it’s strange that there are still no news stories about the effect this divorce will have on poor Kitty? Where are the experts? Where is the American Family Organization? Where’s PETA?

And what about visitation rights? Will Russell have alternate weekends? Will his visits have to be supervised? What if he gets a new family that has a dog? How will that effect Kitty and her siblings, Krusty and Morrissey? C’mon Lamestream Media, Enquiring Minds want to know!!!

I know everyone is exhausted from the Christmas and Hanukkah and Kwanza and Festivus. And everyone else is getting ready for New Years Eve. But still. Before we go out tonight to ring in 2012, maybe we could take a moment and think about the kitties.

And how Marinka never got me the perfume I asked for.

Does this beret make me look French?
